RICHMOND, Va. (WRIC) — VCU students are breathing a sigh of relief after learning VCU police have arrested a man they believe is responsible for three peeping Tom incidents on West Franklin Street last November.

8News has learned he has a lengthy criminal past.

Detectives arrested Richard Flowers II on three counts of peeping into a dwelling. Police say he was caught on tape. They say VCU camera footage shows him peeking through a window at a residence.

“You don’t know what these men do, if it’s just a peeping tom,” VCU Student Shyanne Lewis said.

8News did some digging into Flowers’ past and found he has a rap sheet that dates back to 2001. He’s been in and out of prison on charges ranging from breaking and entering with the intent to commit a felony to eluding police.

“That they found him and got him helps me sleep easier at night,” Lewis said.
